"The K - 5 grades, with a few exceptions, are a wonderful experience. The middle school staff are well intentioned, most are prepared and educated in regards to subject matter being taught and are commendable in their efforts. Unfortunately, the rest of the middle grade teaching staff is unprepared to teach this age set, as they are unable to control the "adult sized" children that interrupt class, making it difficult for other students to learn. Children that are disruptive, as well as bullies, are allowed free reign, while the bullied children get to spend their lunch in a classroom in protective custody. Rest assured, the principal will take the side of the staff - right or wrong. As for scores and grades, while there are the teachers that do their best to provide good instruction, sorrily, there are those that frustrate easily, feeling that humiliating a child is an acceptable practice, leaving the child to fail miserably or receive a bloated grade to keep the herd moving through. Either situation do not leave a child in a prime position for success."

"My child has just finished kindergarten and we are very happy with how the year went! I volunteered once a week so I was able to stay on top of what my child was learning. The staff is very friendly, and teacher ( McDonald) is the best !! Very happy!"

"I can't say enough good things about this school. Overall, it's a great school that has a caring and competent staff, teachers, Principal (Mrs. Susan Jones) and Vice Principal (Mrs. Kathryn Jones). The teachers here are experienced, knowledgeable and quite determined to make sure that the students are able to reach their highest potential in so many different levels. They have awesome and very dedicated teachers(i.e., Mrs. Schmits, Mr. Magnuson who recently retired, Mrs. Ajemian, Mrs. Colson, Mrs. Sommers, etc.) It has a very strong community support which only makes this school better for our children. It is a "California Distinguished School" and an "Academic Excellence School" in Riverside County. It has a very positive environment which is why the children and parents love this school. But at the same time, "discipline" is a priority in this school which makes it an effective facility for learning and growing. We are so fortunate for having this excellent school right here in our neighborhood."

"Lusenio K-8 - We have 3 kids in grade 6 and cannot thank the 6th grade Team enough for the wonderful job they have done. When the kids say they "enjoy going to school" that says it all. This Team has done something to inspire these kids that we have not seen before. It's just not the improvement in grades, its the growth in their confidence, self esteem, responsibility and respect. These teachers truly care about their students and it shows. Sommers / Webb / Palm - Team 6 Principal Jones also deserves credit for putting this Team together and keeping everyone inline especially keeping the kids safe during construction. Keep up the Greatschools work."
